Purse continues to position itself as as the go-to utility for new bitcoiners and individuals who are fresh to the world of crypto. As always, we aim to create practical use cases and build sensible features that benefit our users — and have fun doing it. Purse remains one of the simplest ways to buy goods and get involved quickly in the bitcoin economy…

We’re pleased to announce our latest release, and one of our first major overhauls to the Purse app. We’ve now migrated all of our site material inside the platform (you can now access the full site, no sign-in required, too), and have worked on creating more educational content to guide our users on what Purse can offer them while browsing the site.

User feedback suggested we needed more explanations to how our service works, and users also had difficulty grasping the concept of bitcoin initially. These were all barriers impeding the Purse experience, so we sought to make some necessary improvements.

What’s New

In order to simplify and streamline the site, we took the time to carefully revamp each page; iterating to ensure we’re as concise as possible while educating users on our robust marketplace. There are now flowcharts, videos, and links to other outside resources to better assist you while you shop for discounts or work to earn bitcoin by completing orders.

Content That Defines Us

We want people to know who Purse is as a company, as well who we are personally, while we all continue as a community to make this industry great. Our new team page has a lot of character, and you can learn more about our growing team there.

If you’re interested, pop into the new careers page if you think you’d want to work with us. We have all our open positions there, as well as our new pledge to support and promote diversity, to ensure we remain a workplace open to talent, from all walks of life.

Closing Up

We also have some optimizations for iPad/tablets users in the pipeline that will be available in our next update for mobile devices — which should make lounging on the couch shopping with bitcoin while rewatching Rick & Morty/Game of Thrones much less of a hassle. We aim to please.

We’ll be back with more improvements soon; until then, be sure to leave us feedback on the changes or any bugs you might encounter by messaging us at support@purse.io.

We made it, it’s over. The bitcoin network has successfully hard forked, and with that came the creation of Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Bitcoin Cash was created from the network diverging into two paths; both possessing the same identical transactional history and record, with one (the BCH fork) opting to go a different route entirely with their portion of the network.

To many that can appear very confusing. Essentially, bitcoin’s ledger (the hashed history of all transactions that have occurred on the network, often referred in the media as simply “blockchain”) has been “copy and pasted”, creating a replica of bitcoin’s system, maintained by its own miners, with a slightly altered ruleset to coincide with their plans for scaling. Since many of our users had bitcoin on Purse prior to the hard fork, they now have an equivalent balance of Bitcoin Cash as well due the chain being replicated.

Purse stores and secures your private keys for all funds stored in your wallet, that means we subsequently are storing your newfound Bitcoin Cash as well. We took a snapshot of users’ bitcoin balances prior to the fork (as we announced), and have your funds safely accounted for.

Over the next 30 days, we will be working to create a seamless and simple process for our users to withdraw their balance of Bitcoin Cash to an outside wallet, or automatically converting that value to additional Bitcoin for their Purse Wallet since we will not be supporting Bitcoin Cash directly on Purse.

We will notify users as soon as this process is complete and ready for deployment.

While You Wait

The hard fork was an interesting experiment for the ecosystem, and proves the anti-fragile nature of the bitcoin network. The impact of this event increases the sovereignty of our decentralized, borderless payment system we’ve worked so hard to see grow and evolve, together. We’re proud that the community was able to rally so quickly to help ensure this event remained as pain-less and safe as possible for bitcoin users all over the globe.

At Purse we put a significant amount of time in building, testing, and securing our system (thanks bcoin) to not only keep your precious bitcoin safe, but to also allow us flexibility to be actionable if/when events like these occur on the network. Our thoughtful, careful planning, has shown to be beneficial, and we look forward to crediting our users their balances, and allowing customers to support the growing Bitcoin Cash community.

So, sit tight. We’ll update everyone on next steps soon. Until then, think about what you’ll spend your funds on, back-to-school season is right around the corner…Would be an excellent time for new laptops, electronics, and textbooks…just throwing it out there.

Remember, once user balances of Bitcoin Cash are credited, we will not be natively supporting BCH on our platform. Users will be able to spend their funds via Shapeshift on our platform, however. In the meantime, customer bitcoin cash will remain safely stored here on Purse until it is disbursed accordingly.

Securing customers’ bitcoin is our top priority, and your funds will be safe at Purse. In the upcoming weeks, we anticipate two forks to take effect, and we wish to communicate what this means to our customers on Purse.

Our goal is to balance user experience, transparency, security, and fairness (especially given the various levels of technical aptitude for those that depend on our service):

In the case of the August 1st hardfork, we will provide customers with the choice of withdrawing any newly created coins or automatically converting that value to additional Bitcoin for their Purse wallet.

Details

On August 1, 2017 at 12:20 pm UTC, a project called Bitcoin Cash is expected to hard fork creating a new coin. We expect the vast majority of the Bitcoin community to remain on the existing (majority) chain and for Bitcoin Cash to be a minority chain.

If the Bitcoin Cash blockchain continues, and the currency has significant value after August 8, 2017, we will take a snapshot of account balances prior to the hard fork, with the intent of providing the option for customers to withdraw BCC or convert that value to BTC on Purse.

On or around August 10, Segregated Witness (SegWit) is expected to activate, initiated by the SegWit2X project. SegWit is an upgrade to Bitcoin that fixes transaction malleability enabling new innovations such as the Lightning Network. We do not expect a chain split with this event, as SegWit activates through a soft fork.

Fork FAQ

Will Purse continue to operate as normal during these on-going changes in the network?

We will take countermeasures against potential replay attacks and operate normally without scheduled downtime.

Is there any risk to simply leaving my BTC in Purse during this event?

We will monitor the network during both events and prioritize the security of BTC stored on Purse (even funds held in secure escrow).

What are Purse’s plans for Bitcoin Cash?

We plan on providing our customers with the choice to withdraw BCC or convert it to BTC in their Purse wallet.

When will BCC be available on Purse?

Due to the unprecedented nature of the hard fork, we cannot guarantee a timeline. You can follow @PurseIO (twitter.com/@PurseIO) for the latest updates.

Will Purse support multiple chains?

We do not plan on supporting any additional currencies natively and will remain focused on providing great services and tools for the community.

What happens to BCC sent to Purse after the hard fork?

Wallets on Purse will not support BCC after the fork, and any BCC deposited to Purse after the hard fork will be considered invalid.

Purse will keep your funds secure, operate normally, and ultimately allow our customers the ability to decide what they wish to do on their own. If you store your bitcoin on Purse, please ensure you have 2FA enabled on your Purse Wallet to further protect your funds.

We’re back from our Summer vacations’, and the team has been busy implementing new improvements to our one of our most used features: Name Your Discount (NYD).

Name Your Discount has been a staple feature on Purse since we began operations over three years ago. And, since then, we’ve been working tirelessly to make NYD a breeze to use. Easily being able to save money on Amazon and order almost anything you could possibly ever want, globally, is a powerful use case, and to date millions of dollars in bitcoin has been spent completing orders, enabling users to get the items they want, while providing liquidity for Amazon gift-card holders all over the globe.

That said, we wanted to eliminate as much unnecessary complexity as possible so you can quickly get what you need by spending bitcoin (with a discount); enabling you get back to your life and the things that matter most.

Improvements

Saved Wishlists

Now when you import a wishlist into Purse, we will save that wishlist to your account for future orders so you can quickly reorder items from that particular wishlist. You will also notice that the prompt to submit your wishlist URL has been moved down the Shop page into the new Saved Wishlists section, keeping both of these actions conveniently in close proximity.

This will save users time who reorder items regularly, as our system will periodically check for any updates to your Amazon wishlist, and update it on our end accordingly. This helps to alleviate the need to jump back and forth between the two sites to complete your order.

Modify Wishlists in NYD
Since we can now more closely keep track internally when changes are made to your wishlist, we’ve removed the complexity of creating additional wishlists on Amazon with the items you want over and over. Now you can simply click one of your Saved Wishlists from the shop page, and then add/remove items from your cart prior to checkout.

No more fiddling with Amazon wishlist settings to get your order to go through. Simply select from a saved wishlist, or paste a public wishlist and you’re done. Sounds great, huh?

Saved Addresses

We now save your addresses when you submit an NYD order. This enables you to not have to set an address for every wishlist you create on Amazon. Simply ensure that your Amazon wishlist is set to public upon creation, and we will handle the rest. If we cannot retrieve an address for your order, or if one isn’t submitted, we may then prompt you to save your address to complete your order.

Closing

These changes will ultimately enable use to increase the velocity at which our users are able to complete orders; as well as make shopping using Name Your Discount on mobile a lot simpler for new users. Be on the lookout for more improvements coming to Name Your Discount soon.

If you find any bugs, or have any issues, please contact Support@Purse.io.

One of the most popular categories for buying items on Purse is consumer electronics, especially high-end components like PC parts. Crypto-enthusiasts often love gaming, and mining (which happens to use a lot of GPUs, sometimes causing shortages, sorry not sorry, we need them).

Configuring the perfect build for your next VR-gaming machine can be a lot of fun, but the price can quickly add up when you want to make sure you have all the latest bells and whistles. If you’re a graphic designer/programmer/ or game designer and looking to upgrade your rig for cheap without blowing the bank, we’ve got the plan.

First step is finding the right build. We recommend using a site like PCPartsPicker. They’re excellent as they are kind enough to also list all the retailers that sell the individual components needed for each build, making it easier to find what you need. We’ll be using a similar build to this one for this post which is great for gaming, checking Twitter for the latest crypto-related drama, or making memes (4K, high-quality GIFs are very in-demand).

Cost Breakdown

Build Total (Retail Value): $1486.67

Build Total using Buy Now (Save 5%): 1413.64

Build Total using Name Your Discount (w/ 15% Savings): $1263.67

That’s the build! Hopefully this will save you the trouble if you were itching to get some new components for your upcoming rig. You can also buy components on Purse everyday for all your future builds (and your friends too). And, if you want to save even more, order your components individually and try for higher discounts (like for the more expensive items, like graphics cards).

So, if you haven’t signed up for Purse yet, sign-up today, and save big to get more bang for your buck; leaving you more money for all of your other nerdy, fun habits.

]]>2123Lifestyle: Get Organized this Summer with Bitcoinhttps://blog.purse.io/lifestyle-get-organized-summer-bitcoin/

Whether you’re halfway through your New Year’s resolution, following a Moon Cycle, or preparing to romp the world this Summer (maybe stopping into Burning Man?); whatever your path to self improvement and discovery looks like, nothing helps ease the mind and relax you like a clean, organized, and clutter-free home.

Minimalism and organization is key, and it really works wonders. The less possessions you have clouding your mind-space and the more organized you are, the less stressed you’ll be; freeing up some much needed mental bandwidth to focus on improving yourself, and enjoying the present.

Getting organized and more focused today can be easy, here are a few items to get you started (or keep you going) on a path to continuous self-improvement this Summer.

Life come’s at you fast, and a lot can happen in a given day. It’s important to take time to reflect on the positive/negative events of your day. Chronicling your successes and failures shouldn’t be the goal. Write down whatever pleases you, or irks you in the moment, and try to be profound. Sometimes the easiest way to reduce stress for more focus, is by simply writing down what’s on your mind. Then, make a habit to go back and revisit these thoughts later, when you have a different perspective. It’ll make self-introspection a part of your daily routine, and that will bring you the added self-awareness to do more, and feel better.

When working to get more organized and stress-free, it’s important that you exercise self-discipline. Many hone these skills by habitually feeding pets, remembering to brush their teeth twice a day, or making it to the gym a few times a week. Bonsai’s are delicate plants, and they require sensitivity and attention in order to thrive — just like you. Try out a bonsai, and practice being more mindful, and present, in your daily life.

This next one should be a no-brainer. In a world shrouded in distraction and mayhem, sometimes it can be hard to find the time to do the important things, like tidy-up around the house. Thanks to the on-going growth in home automation, we now have the luxury of technology and our smartphones to act as extensions to our physical selves. A Roomba is a great way to automate something you probably do on a regular basis (or regularly opt to neglect ) by off-loading vacuuming your home to just a few clicks of your smartphone; it’s as easy writing a tweet, almost. Your home will be cleaner, you’ll have one less thing on your personal to-do list; or perhaps your cat will ride it and you can record and post it to YouTube and make a bunch of money. What’s there to lose?

There is no time like the present, and it’s important to live life in the moment, and be mentally present as well (that means not always on your phone, or stressing unnecessarily about the future). With a giant bold-faced clock, it’s really hard to ignore the time that ticks by, each moment another lost chance to discover something new, or enjoy something you already know and love. Hang it in a room you frequently spend time in, so you can gaze as it often; remaining aware of the hours, minutes, and seconds that you’re spending, worrying about the future, when your real gift is the present.

Find Your Zen

Getting more time and enjoyment out of life is easier when you life and mind can be more clutter free; providing you additional mental bandwidth to focus on the finer things in life – like bitcoin. If you haven’t already, sign-up and try us out, today. There’s no time like the present to start a positive new habit,

You’ve been to the mall (people still do that?); you’ve scoured countless online catalogs and Pinterest, yet you still can’t find the right gift for your crypto-obsessed loved ones (or for that matter, one you can afford, we tech geeks like expensive toys).

But, don’t worry! Breathe!

Sure buying things for your friends and family can be hard, especially when you’re on a budget. At Purse, we want to help make your gift-buying easier, so we’ve gathered some great gift ideas for those close to you in your life who might be in need of a Birthday/Anniversary/”I made you mad, but please don’t be mad at me for always checking the bitcoin prices” – gift.

To get you started, we’ve got 4 suggestions to get your brain churning on a few little luxuries to bless your favorite crypto-nerd with.

Your crypto lover checking their phone too much to look at prices? Buy them this Raspberry Pi kit, and have them build their own price ticker instead. Perhaps buy multiple, and install them in every room of your house. That’s fine, we won’t judge, that’s a brilliant idea — go crazy.

In the bitcoin world, we love memes — and we also love Pizza. When working in this fast paced industry, it’s hard to find a day off. But that doesn’t mean we don’t know how to have a good time. One of the most notable bitcoin related holidays is Bitcoin Pizza Day: celebrating the time some guy spent 10,000 Bitcoin on a pizza (Bitcoin price is ~$2700 at the moment, do the math…that’s a lot of Pepperoni). Don’t let your love one make the same mistake, with this they can make their own pizza, and HODL.

If your crypto lover is savvy, they likely take their personal information security very important. That means they likely backup and store the majority of their riches offline (when they aren’t spending them on Purse, of course). In order to keep those paper wallets safe, you’re going to want a fireproof safe to ensure they remain protected (always important to have redundant copies though, don’t forget). With the added convenience of biometric scanning, it makes getting to your riches quick, protected by your midas touch ;).

Does your crypto lover have carpal tunnel? Are they close from constantly checking CoinMarketCap and clicking refresh? Well get them a jar of this to have offhand, you know, for when the bitcoin price flash crashes suddenly and you can’t pry your friend/loved one away from their phone/computer. Also, it’s great for headaches caused by the on-going bitcoin block-size debate.

On Your Own

There you have it, if none of these work – well, you figured out to how to buy bitcoin, you’re smart. You’ll figure it out, we have faith in you. And remember, Purse can give you the best savings on all your gift-buying, and more. If you haven’t already, sign-up and try us out, today.

Summer is right around the corner; that means sunshine, fun-times, and vacations to foreign places (or just to the neighborhood pool). Whatever your budget, and whatever your plans, Purse can help you gear up on the cheap.

We’re making it even easier to spend those hard earned digital assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and ZCash: simplifying finding items you love; cleaning up some bugs; and continuously iterating on creating an unmatched shopping experience for those making the switch to this crazy new “internet money”.

What’s New

So look no further, here’s what new in this latest update; with plenty more to come this Summer (crypto doesn’t take vacations, but we hear Maui is nice right now)

Enhanced Search UI
Improvements to our search bar are now here. You can now filter and breakdown your searches to get more granular with your results. Quickly choose between Amazon items, or items’ shipped by Purse Merchants; as well as refine by category, and whether the item has fast shipping through Amazon. This, combined with our last update with item variations, should ensure finding the exact item you love is more seamless.

You’ll find these improvements live on desktop, and will be available on our Android and iOS apps as well.

Order Page and Shopping Cart Links

You can now click into items from your Order Page, as well as from your Shopping Cart. So, if you’re undecided on an item in your cart and want to quickly review its product description/rating; or, perhaps you’ve completed your order and want to quickly get back to the product page to reorder: you can now do so from both pages — reducing clicks to get you what you need faster.

General Improvements

We cleaned up our header design, made some minor tweaks for desktop and mobile, and updated our shop banner (Never fear, Summer’s here). There were also some pesky login related bugs, and a small bug with our new Download CSV option; but, we had some developer Raid laying around and exterminated those accordingly.

Referral Bonus Changes

You’ll also notice changes to our referral bonus system. We recently updated our referral system so that newly referred users and their referral will both receive $5 in bitcoin; but, only once that referral has transacted $100 or more on Purse. To get more specific information on our referral system, go here.

We’re continual seeing healthy growth, and people love our referral system; this ensures we can continue to give out free bitcoin to all those seeking new ways to save money, or simply spend digital assets, like Bitcoin.

That’s all for this update. Keep checking back as we unload new goodies to make your online shopping more satisfying than ever. Take some time to relax this Summer, perhaps buy yourself a nice hammock, and some new books to read in it? Or, if you plan on entertaining, there’s some giant Margarita cups with your name on them. Hop to it, and get to saving!

But, most importantly, have fun being at the forefront of this digital currency explosion.

Working tirelessly week after week, our commitment to introducing bitcoin to the masses remains unrelenting. However, trying to educate the entire globe on the benefits that bitcoin and digital currencies will bring to the world is quite the task; and, it should come to no surprise that reaching 7+ billion people on this planet is no small effort.

Luckily, bitcoin continues to grow exponentially; not only in price, but also in value-added services. Partnering with wallet services in particular, like Mycelium, are a great way for individuals to get introduced to bitcoin. Mycelium is a trusted wallet service used by many all over the world; and, one with an impressive user base.

Got Bitcoin, Now What?

Wallet services play a crucial part in the onboarding of new users. Once someone has purchased bitcoin from a Mycelium Local Trader, ATM, Coinbase, or other service, they’ll need to eventually use those funds to truly understand the power of what it is they now possess.

Partnering with Purse provides the company Mycelium a revenue stream, enabling them to continually deliver new features and integrations to their users. At the same time, users in the Mycelium app can now be directed to value-adding platforms like Purse where they spend their bitcoin and shop for goods at a discount.

New users in bitcoin have to learn how to best utilize and secure their digital wealth, newfound partnerships like these ensure we can educate as many future bitcoin evangelists as possible.

This partnership will go live in the coming weeks, and users of the Mycelium wallet will be able to discover Purse right from the Mycelium mobile app; with the potential for deeper integrations in the future as we continues to expand our service.

Purse is a paradise for individuals who live for a great deal. Students, parents, teachers, business owners, gamers — anyone who uses the internet to shop, entertain/educate, or empower themselves financially can find a use for our service. Buying and securing bitcoin is a task on its own. But, we make it easy to store your bitcoin, and once you have your hands on some, the possibilities for what’s to come are endless.

The ability to receive borderless payments from anywhere on the globe, and quickly start using that value to buy goods at a discount introduces a new type of utility to the lives of our users’.

A Use for Every Occasion

Sure, you can save 5-33% off your favorite must-have electronics, clothing and accessories with just a few clicks by using bitcoin or other digital currencies like ether or litecoin, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Gaming: Plans on upgrading your gaming PC to prepare for the future of 4K gaming and VR? Purse allows you to buy all the high-end components you need for your next build, stretching your budget further and enabling you to build a more powerful gaming rig, while spending less.

Arbitrage/Reselling: Many of our users have started full-fledged businesses simply by purchasing popular gadgets and electronics, utilizing their bitcoin savvy and Purse to get them the lowest price possible. From there individuals take the items to places like eBay and Craigslist to resell them slightly below market to easily make extra cash.

Living Life: Some users of bitcoin and other digital currencies have gone completely digital with their income and savings. That means they utilize bitcoin or Purse to buy most everything they need, at a discount. Get everything from cleaning supplies, to home improvement tools; you can live your life normally without ever having to convert to your local currency. We’re also great for businesses that stock their offices with perishable goods regularly (think supplies & snacks) and want to reduce costs.

Gift Giving: Family or friend have an upcoming birthday or celebration? Buy physical gift-cards to their favorite stores, gift-wrap, and party supplies; getting everything you need to make your the occasion cheaper. Buying supplies for your local homeless shelter or wish to donate to a good cause? Now you can save money while giving back, too.

Join the Fun
